1. So is Bin Laden calling Scotty out too?
Edited on Sun Jun-01-08 06:07 PM by liberal N proud
I can't watch the video right now.
That would take the cake if they use Bin Laden to condemn Scotty's new book.

5. Better than a rickroll.
Glad people are catching on. It was reported that OBL was killed in December 2001. Every foreign media outlet carried that story and it's general knowledge - every where but here in the US.

The * Admin needed a boogey man so they have conveniently ignored his death and roll out videos when it suits them.

7. Bin Laden's been dead since December 2001, you say?
"As I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country. I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban. But once we set out the policy and started executing the plan, he became -- we shoved him out more and more on the margins. He has no place to train his al Qaeda killers anymore."

--George Bush, March 13th, 2002

12. Yep! Old whistle ass knew in March 2002
that his latest, bestest bogeyman was dead. It has often tickled me that so few people wondered why he said what he did then.

14. 'Lo there!


Thank you for your sweet comment in the thread about Al Gore and Howard Dean. I was drooling about meeting those two like the OP had.

19. Are you kidding
I keep going back and rereading that thread. What a cool cool thing. I would have loved to have been there and listened to them talk together. Just a fly on the wall. I think what he said to you was incredibly kind. A very small part of me is still delusional and thinks it may all yet turn out like that. Silly me.

18. Or sipping Coke on a British off-shore island close to his money.
Edited on Sun Jun-01-08 08:34 PM by mac2
Bin Laden was a Bush friend and CIA trained to defeat the Russians. Reagan turned the fighters into religious extremists for war. He was on a kidney machine the last I know and might be dead. Don't think you can plan an attack from a cave while you are on a kidney machine.

The Taliban were our friends now they are the enemy. Of course under Bush everyone is our enemy and he protects us from them (emmm or is it him?). I'm not sure how that goes.

Ken Lay, Saddam, and Noregia might be there too. They are all Bush and Neo Con friends. The world elite.

21. I always imagined him in the loving arms of his family in Saudi Arabia
the last place Bush can look. Blood IS thicker than oil, after all.

23. Oh yah, that's certainly where he is, or has been

In Saudi Arabia , in the lap of luxury that untold billions $ can bring.

Not in some "training camp" in Afghanistan, and certainly not in Pakistan.

The hunting down and killing of "Taliban" and "terrorists in Iraq", has nothing to do with bin Laden. It's about oil and empire, oil and empire.

20. If you need a reason why,
the delicate case had to be made here for the Iraq war. And there were also numerous domestic issues in the works that were aided by an active boogeyman. The premature death of Bin Laden would have been a blow to the * neocon agenda, if the press here had not cooperated in ignoring it.

22. "Every foreign media outlet carried that story.. it's general knowledge - everywhere but .. the US"
Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 05:30 AM by ExPatLeftist
Sorry, but I have to disagree, I live in a foreign country and travel extensively throughout Europe and at that time, Asia. I both watch and read news from several countries in Europe. I did not hear this reported on many outlets at all - and certainly not as a fact (that he was dead). There was some speculation, IIRC, but it was not reported that he was in fact dead, and certainly not on "every foreign media outlet".

I do not doubt that there might be foul play involving BushCo going on here, but your statement about the foreign media is simply untrue.

24. Maybe not every news agency carried the story
but check out post 9 above: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=141244&mesg_id=141264

And take some time on Google to view the other news links. I think the fact that he has not been heard from again since that time - verifiably heard from - is very interesting.

Did we have reporters on the ground positively identifying the body at the funeral was OBL? No. If nothing short of that will satisfy some folks - ok.
